NEW! San Francisco Bay Area LGBTQ Organization Directory

Horizons Foundation is proud to present the first comprehensive online directory of LGBTQ organizations and programs in the San Francisco Bay Area. This directory is searchable and publicly accessible, highlighting the extensive network of LGBTQ nonprofits and programs across the nine-county Bay Area.

Horizons Foundation’s Response to United States v. Skrmetti 

The Supreme Court decision in United States v. Skrmetti deals a devastating blow to transgender youth and their families. By upholding states’ bans on gender-affirming care for minors, the Court has effectively stripped the right of young people to access safe, effective, and essential medical treatment. This decision not only inflicts irreparable physical and psychological harm on Tennessee’s trans youth and their families, but also those in the 25+ states with similar bans and restrictions. 

Applications are Open for LGBTQ Donor Engagement Grants

Horizons seeks to support LGBTQ donor engagement opportunities of large LGBTQ-primary organizations based within the nine counties of the San Francisco Bay Area through grants for annual fundraising events. Organizations with events taking place from August through December are encouraged to apply.

Reflections from Horizons' Regional Town Halls

Horizons hosted four virtual Regional Town Halls in March and April designed to bring our community together, help you connect with local LGBTQ nonprofits, and provide a platform for you to discuss important local issues. To capture the richness of these convenings, five Horizons staff members share what stood out to them.
